"Crassus had 6,000 of Spartacus'men crucified along the Appian Way between Capua and Rome – a distance of about 200 kilometres"

If I remember well, the scene with countless crosses can be seen in the famous movie Spartacus
In fact crucifixion was a common Roman punishment, Jesus itself was supposedly nailed on cross by Romans.
The Third servile war in which the slaves led by Spartacus(a former gladiator) rebelled happened between 73 and 71 BC
